A dime is approximately 1.35 x 10^−1cm thick. The thickness of a dollar bill is approximately 1.2 x10^−2
How many times greater is the thickness of a dime than the thickness of a dollar bill?
To find out how many times greater the thickness of a dime is than the thickness of a dollar bill, we need to divide the thickness of the dime by the thickness of the dollar bill:
(1.35 x 10^-1) / (1.2 x 10^-2)
= (1.35 / 1.2) x 10^(-1 - (-2))
= 1.125 x 10^1
= 11.25
Therefore, the thickness of a dime is 11.25 times greater than the thickness of a dollar bill.
